Walkthrough:

Returning to the Parthilcar tower crypt, you head down past the Iron Golems that had given Mirra so many sleepless nights. It doesn’t take long before you find yourself fighting some mean skeletons. They are healed by cold, but fire does extra damage. Protect your caster and use tactics to allow the use of firewalls. Be mana efficient and take full advantage of every second of every firewall.

It doesn’t tak long for you to find the culprit behind Anabele’s abduction… there’s mind flayers in dem dere crypts. He retreats, leaving his flunkies to fight you. Time to start the hunt. Work your way down into the crypt. You need to search out all side passages to get necessary crests to open doors. Firewall is your best friend, use it wisely.

Be wary for blade traps, and be ready for Mindflayers protecting the crests in some of the side rooms. Remember that 'globe of invulnerability' will suppress the psionic mind blast of a mind flayer.

The quest is long, and every nook and cranny is used for crests and important fights, so clear as you go and use your two shrines when they are needed. They are located at mirror image from each other, around the crest door. Also, in the stairway down from the first crest door there is a locked chest.

End Reward: standard loot option
